Parent-Proof notes for Clara Senseman
Her death certificate says she was the daughter of Reuben and Mary Senseman.
Birth, Parent-Proof, Designation notes for Peter R (Spouse 1)
We know Peter as the son of John since he lived with his father in 1850-1870. He is designated P1c1c.
Relocated and Census Tracking notes for Peter R (Spouse 1)
Peter lived with his parents in 1870 and I think his wife was Sallie also present in that household. Then in 1880, Peter still lived in Milton now with wife Claria.
Death and Find-a-Grave notes for Peter R (Spouse 1)
The informant on Peter’s death certificate was Mrs. Peter R Martz. She said Peter’s father’s name was John Martz and his mother’s name Clara Senseman. I think she was confused by the form and that was, in fact, her own name.

Peter R was not on find-a-grave but I found record of his burial in a transcription of Harmony Cemetery by Joseph A Meiser and so I added him. Clara was there too.
